M1 Mac support

[Scott]

There are multiple issues like https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/81793/jlinkarm-dll-load-failed-on-m1-mac which are basically just « resolved » by saying « these require Intel »

I have an M1 Max based MacBook Pro. I got it specifically because the Intel version sucked. I'm not about to roll back my environment to get this to work

I get this error trying to flash.

to the shell (generally adding --verify to make link happier ) it just works.

Please someone there just get an M1 based Mac and fix this.

I wasted hours getting this to work and hours more on nRF Connect for Desktop not working and now it kinda mostly works with some glue and duct tape, but it's still quite annoying to have to go to the terminal and manually do something that seems like it should just be scripted in VS Code
